ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] In Hover Caption In An External Movie?
Apr 1, 2003
I've done the Tutorial written here by Kirupa on how to display an hover captionTutorial It works perfectly in the stand alone movie.But i need to put this in another movie as external.When i do so, it doesn't work , actually 'cos it drag ALL the external movie and not only the item i want to do a Hover Effect.Why this??Maybe because it consider the command_root.x = 1 (and so on whenever there's _root)the root of the Main movie and not the one of the external??Must i correct all the code with level1 or there's another way??
I followed the hover caption tutorial but sometimes the hover caption goes out of the movie.How to make it stay inside the movie and a certain distance of the mouse?
am having totally 30 movie clip ( name it as layout_1 to layout_30 ) for that i want hover caption to each movie clip from xml data note: not load dynamic movieclip only xml data load dynamic

I'm using the kirupa fla source file for the hover caption URL...and have created an external movie file where I want the hover captions to appear to be loaded into the main movie swf. The hover captions don't work once this swf has been loaded but works as a standalone swf.

i am trying to use the excellent hover caption effect in my movie. the buttons i want to put the captions on are inside a movie clip named mcRobot. so i tried to modify all the paths to go into the mc...but not working.
here is original code from tutorial and then the one i try. basically i put "mcRobot." before most of the paths where i think it should go.
does anyone have a version already modified to put into an mc?
I followed the hover caption tutorial, everything worked, etc. What I want to do is experiment with different uses for the hover captions. I tried to put longer text inside the quotes ("something something blah blah blah" instead of "Portable Devices", etc), but it extends the yellow box way past the text, and if I try to make it multiple lines I get this error mesage:
My query is in respect to the tutorial posted on kirupa : [URL] Now :
1) If I want to add a line of caption ,the moviclip expands in a horizontal manner. So , if I write a big description , the caption movieclip occupies whole stage width. How can i make this movieclip exapand in a vertical fashion after a fixed no. of characters
2) Suppose a button which is inside a movieclip has been applied this function , the button action doesnt work !!!! only the hover caption appears. ( specifically the button on(release) action ) !! What is the possible solution.
I have a problem with a caption. When i load a picture, the picture goes in front of the caption. I tried a swapdepths between the 2 mc's but it seems not to work. Here's my code : You can also see the swf online here : [URL]
[Code]...
You'll see that i have also a problem with the pictures loaded. I place the pic ni the middle of the scene, but when i click the button, i can see the picture moving.
I've completed the Hover Caption tutorial at [URL] successfully. What I'd like to do in addition, is to resize the caption box to match the caption text's length.
I've tried giving the background box a name (box) and turning it into a button and then doing:
But the box never aligns with the text properly after that. don't know what methods to call in order to get the bottom corner of the text and bottom corner of the box and align them properly.
I have an audio slide show and I need to add caption and on off button to show and hide the caption. how can I make on and off button to show the caption?and is it possible to add caption on my audio (not video) using actionscript 3.0?
I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.
I've stumbled my way through making the animation that I want to play and have saved it as a swf. I've now started a new project, added a symbol to a stage and am trying to make it so that the movie clip I created will play when I hover over it.
I've tried making a button where I add the movie clip in the hover state, and it will play, but it just keeps repeating even though I have a stop (); at the end of the movie clip (the one I had created before in a different project). Also, the button is way too sensitive and the clip starts playing when my mouse is still pretty far away from it.
I've been told that I should be doing this with action script - telling it to play my clip on hover. I've tried copying so many pieces of code I've found online but none of it has worked. I've read somethings that said I should be making a button and adding the action script to the button and then others that say not, and then others that say it should be a movie clip.
I'm so frustrated at this point, I could really really use some help. How do I get my movie clip to play when I hover? Please be specific - does the thing that I am hovering on need to be a movie clip that I'm adding the script to or can it be a symbol? Do I need to add any script to the original movie clip I created?
I'm following along the "Hover Captions" tutorial on kirupa.com. everything works as it should, but I'm having a bit of a problem. I want to have the button that will be hovered over inside a movie clip. When I do this, though, that movie clip is moved around by my mouse.
I'm working up a flash file that will eventually be controlled by the Kinect. So I've hidden the mouse and put a startDrag on a custom cursor. The problem is that I can't get a reliable result for a hover/over state when the cursor is over a movieclip. It only registers the over state sometimes and when it does, it's very brief, even if you hold the cursor over it for a long time.The problem seems to have something to do with the drag or the enter frame listener. It's like it can't process fast enough to realize when it's over the buttons.
I have got a very obscure problem that I cannot for the life of me figure out. I have a flash movie which contains a number of pages which contain dynamic text fields containing HTML read from my database. This works absolutely fine, however for reasons that I cannot understand when you hover over some of my links they move to the right so they are inline with the edge of the first linked image at the bottom. The code is as follows:
PHP Code: <p><a href="http://www.testlink.com">A LINK</a></p><p>Test text <a href="http://www.testlink.com">ANOTHER LINK</a>More text</p><p>
I am going to be working on a site that has various mechanical products for sale. The customer wants me to make a model and movie of each product to show how the product works. Here is an example product:
Flash Clip The problem I am having is, he wants the movie to only play when a user puts their mouse over the video. I attempted doing this with a mp4 file and it worked using jQuery, but only when in Chrome. Here is that link:
MP4 Clip I want these demos to be viewable by the largest possible audience, so I was trying to stay away from Flash (also because I don't know Flash very well if at all). Does anyone know of a way to get this video to work in other browsers like in the second example? If not, how can I achieve that same idea using Flash?
randomly perhaps. I would like to figure out a way to animate a movie clip so that it is slightly moving a little bit up and down and left and right. What is the easiest way to do this?
I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.
I have written a tab nav class for learning purposes but have run into an issue with the tab captions. I invoke the tab class by sending in an array of the buttons that are needed, tabs are displayed accordingly. with the tab creation loop, I create the textfields for earch tab caption which is displayed as expected. I then have MouseOut and MouseOver effects which works (tab color changes accordingly), however, when MouseOver and MouseOut effects are triggered, the caption is no longer visible because, the mouse effect changes the caption text color which I don't know how to stop. I just want the the tab to change color NOT the caption.
I am trying to learn Flash and as soon as I think I am in good shape, comes along this "curve ball". Take a look at the .FLA from this site ([URL]) How in the world do the alpha buttons get their captions? I understand the numeric ones, but alphas completely baffle me as there is no code (that I can find) that sets them. I have deleted all of the Actions, I have deleted virtually everything there is, and I still can't figure out how does the button instance appear as the caption in the text box.
what the subject says: Closed Caption for Video Flv. Every documentation on internet speak about FlvPlaybackCaptioning.. I would like to made a flv player with caption on my own...
I also found an interesting component called CCForFlashAs3, but I'm not able to use it...
I just can't see it. I took a resizing prototype function from the compiled fla in the resizing slideshow thread (found here, post #171) and combined it with the concepts from the hover caption tutorial on kirupa. But instead of creating a dynamic text box in the hover movie clip I am creating the text dynamically using createTextField and then autosizing it using textfield.autoSize = true (didn't seem to work when I used "left"). When you use createTextField you have to specify a width and height. The autoSize command seems to dynamically resize the textfield in height but not in width. When running a trace the width is always the same though the height changes
I am looking for some opinions or ideas for the best way to do this. I have a scene that is loading a swf. I have a dynamic text field that is displaying captions relating to what is happening in the loaded swf. The captions are relatively short and I am wondering what the best way to display them would be? Right now I am loading from a text file and can dynamically load the next file using this:
I cant see why the first caption of a dynamic text box want load. Its the caption from a xml gallery Once I go to the second pic it starts loading and if I go back to the first pic it loads.
how to get a scrolling thumbnail photo gallery to work with an imbedded bonus array. What I can't figure out is how to change the caption on the photos so that when I click on the bonus thumbnails (b2, b3, b4, etc) the text/caption changes on the website.I can upload the flash file if anyone is interested in helping.
